Aim:This study investigates the prevalence of isolated interventricular membranous septal (IVMS) aneurysms detected via echocardiography and assesses the associated stroke risk without other classical risk factors.Methods:We searched the echocardiography database at Mount Sinai Morningside from January 2017 to September 2023.

A rapid echocardiogram was performed, revealing an ejection fraction of 20% with thinning of the anterior-apical walls. Cannon waves are associated with reduced RV compliance or elevated RV end-diastolic pressure ( Ali et al — Ann Noninvasic Electrocard 22:e12423, 2017 — and — Chen and Pel-Ying Pai — Circulation 119:e381, 2009 ).

Formal echocardiogram showed normal EF, no wall motion abnormalities, no pericardial effusion. For now, the 2017 AHA/ACC/HRS guidelines for asymptomatic patients that have inducible types of Brugada syndrome recommend observation without any specific therapies or interventions [8]. No more troponins were done.

A formal echocardiogram was completed the next day and again showed a normal ejection fraction without any focal wall motion abnormalities to suggest CAD. For now, the 2017 AHA/ACC/HRS guidelines for asymptomatic patients that have inducible types of Brugada syndrome recommend observation without any specific therapies or interventions [8].

Troponins, echocardiogram An echocardiogram showed inferobasilar hypokinesis, further supporting a diagnosis of regional ischemia , likely of the area supplied by the RCA. The biphasic T wave is consistent with recent reperfusion of an occluded coronary artery supplying the inferior region. The initial troponin I was elevated at 0.75
